In untitled, Danh Vo explores how to exist within and navigate the present through a variety of working methods and across multiple spaces. He has engaged numerous collaborators to co-create work with him, from his father, friends, lover and professor, through to gallery technicians and a group of children from Sceaux Gardens visiting his Berlin farm. Vo’s work therefore becomes an expanding and diversifying series of experiments, questioning what happens if he brings one set of elements together, then another, and another. Rather than creating a pluralist landscape for its own sake, this approach is driven by a profound desire to sift through the embedded layers that inform our present. Power, history, eroticism, personal biography, imperial dissolution and globalist expansion are all in play. As such, the artist’s work embodies the shifting and precarious nature of contemporary life and imagines where it could lead if unbound from state institutions, social...norms and grand humanist projects.
